Sept 1 -4 5 PM - 9 PM Live Coverage of The Republican Convention -  This year’s
Republican Convention may be more traditional in tone, but interesting nonetheless.

polls. During convention week, St. Paul and Minneapolis will also play host to Ron

edition of Democracy Now! from 6-8 AM, followed by a one hour edition of The Morning
Show, originating in part at the convention . Then at 9 a repeat of hour two of
Democracy Now!. And we'll have coverage from 4 to 5 PM from Davey D! and the Hard
Knock Radio team from the convention.
